Update from Dr. Leigh Anne Neal
We have received calls from families interested in the Parents as Teachers program who indicate they have learned about the program from a family who is currently enrolled. Thank you for sharing information with others about Parents as Teachers and helping us to expand our network of service within the Shawnee Mission community.
The Shawnee Mission School District strives to offer high quality services through the Parents As Teachers program. Please contact me, leighanneneal@smsd.org or 913-993-6412, with any questions or feedback regarding the program.

Personal Visit Reminders
